Sydney van Hooijdonk is superfluous at Bologna. The 23-year-old striker does not have to report on Wednesday when the Italians start preparations. That reports Football International.

According to the weekly magazine Van Hooijdonk was surprised by the message. He thought he would join the selection of the Serie A club in preparation. “Bologna wants me to go to training camp,” he said last week. Coach Thiago Motta puts a stop to that at the last minute. He has announced that the Dutchman is not welcome and may make a transfer.
Van Hooijdonk still has a contract until mid-2025. Bologna hoped for a transfer fee of about eight million euros, but Motta’s decision seems to have dropped that amount considerably. The finisher came over transfer-free from NAC Breda in 2021. For the past year and a half he played on a rental basis for sc Heerenveen. Last season he scored sixteen times in the Eredivisie.
Unlike Van Hooijdonk, Jerdy Schouten, Joshua Zirkzee and acquisition Sam Beukema will be present at the Bologna training camp.
